ミシシッピー・ジョン・ハート
- BORN: July 3, 1893, Teoc, Mississippi
1893年7月3日、ミシシッピ州テオク生まれ - DIED: November 2, 1966, Grenada, Mississippi
1966年11月2日、ミシシッピ州グレネイダにて死去 - vocals guitar harmonica
1928年にオーケー・レーベルに13曲を残したミシシッピー・ジョン・ハートは、その後録音のチャンスに恵まれず、田舎に戻り、小作農として細々と暮らしていた。それから30年以上の歳月が流れ、彼は行方不明の歌手としてブルース・マニアの間で伝説化していたのだが、1963年に劇的に“再発見”された。ブルース研究家のトム・ホスキンスが、ハートの“Avalon is my hometown, always on my mind(故郷アヴァロンは、いつでもわが心にある)”という歌詞に注目、その地を徹底的に探り、居場所をつきとめたのだ。その年のニューポート・フォーク・フェスティバルに出演し、大喝采を浴びたハート。70歳を過ぎた高齢ながら、スターとしての第2の人生が始まる。数年間、アメリカ全土をツアーし、綺麗なフィンガー・ピッキングのギターと穏やかな曲調、ほのぼのとした人柄で、1960年代に再発見された伝説のブルースマンの中で最も愛された人物となった。66年に心臓発作を起こし、惜しまれながら死去。
